This  little  volume  is  designed  for  small  children; 
and  the  only  merit  the  author  claims,  i?>  that  it  ia 
adapted*to  the  young*  mind. 

Since  children  very  rarely  learn  to  read  in  tho 
Primer,  *we  deem  it  unnecessary  to  take  up  much 
space  with  reading  "..jsons. 

The  compete]  or     will  understand  how  to 

xxsq  the  work.

Now    dear  child,  here  is  a    song  j 
learn  to  sing.     It  is  called 

HAPPY     LAND. 

There  is  a  happy  land, 

Far,  far  awfty  ; 
Where  saints  in  glory  stand, 

Bright,  bright  as  day. 
Oh  how  they  sweetly  sing? 

Worthy  is  our  Saviour  Kinj 
Loud  let  bis  praises  ring, 

•Praise,  pi'aiso  for  aye. 

Come  to  this  happy  land, 

Come,  come  away ; 
Why  will  ye  doubting  stand, 

Why  still  delay  ? 
O  we  shall  happy  be  ? 

When  from  sin  and   sorrow 
Lord  we  shall  reign  with  thee, 

'^Blest,  blest  for  aye. 


hlXiE    PRIMES 

Briglit  in  that  happy   land, 

*  Beams  everj  eye  ; 
Kept  by  a  Father's  hand, 

"  Love   cannot  die. 
O  then  to  glory  run 
Be  a  crown  and  kingdom  won, 
And  bright^abovc  the  sun 
We'll  reijrn  for  avc. 


All  children  should  pray.      Here  is  a  px*fes 
to  say  at  eight.     You  must  learn  it. 
Now  I  lay  me  down  to  sleep, 
I  pray  the  Lord  my;  soul  to  keep  ; 
And  if  I  die  before  I  wake, 
I  pray  the  Lord  my  soul  to  take, 
And  this  I  ask  for  Jehus'  sake, 

AlriEN. 

MARY'S    LITTLE    LAMB. 


Mary  had  a  f little   lamb, 

Its  fleece  was  white   as   snow ; 

And  every  where  that  Mai-y  went 
The   lamb   was  sure   to  go. 

He  foilowedfher  to  school^one^  day, 
Which  was  against  the  rule — 

It  irmde  the  children  laugh  and  play 
To  see  a  lamb  at  school. 


30  I  R  i  M  1- B . 

So  the  teacher  turned  hinioul, 
But  still  lie  lingered  near; 

And  waited   patiently  about, 
Till  Mary  did  appear. 

And  then   lie  ran  to  her  and  laid 

His  head   upon  lie?  arm, 
As  if  he   said,   I'm    not  afraid, 

You'U   keep  me  from  all  harm. 

"I    WANT     TO     B£     AN     ANGEL." 

I  want  to  he   an  angel, 

And  with  the  angels   stand, 
A  crown  upon  my  forehead, 

A  harp  within  my  hand. 

There  right   before  the  Saviour 
So  glorious  and   so  brigh;,* 
I'd  make   the  sweetest  music, 

And  praise  Him  day  and  night 

I  never  should  he  weary,  • 

Nor  ever  shed  a  tear ; 
Nor  ever   kn.nv   a   sorrow, 

ISTor  ever  feel    a  fear. 
But  blessed,   pure  and  holy, 

I'd  dwell  in    Jesus'  sighfc, 
And  with  ten  thousand  thousand. 

Praise  Him  both  day   anrt  night.

I  know  I*in  weak  and  sinful, 

But  Jesus  will   forgive, 
For  many  little   Children 

Have  gone  to  Heaven    to  live. 
Dear  Saviour,  when  I  languish 

And  lay  nic  down  to  die, 
O  send  a  shining  angel 

To  bear  me   to  the   sky. 

0  there  I'll  be  an  angel, 

And  with  the  angels  stand, 
A  crown  upon  my  forehead, 

A  harp  within  my   hand; 
And  there  before  my  Saviour, 

So  glorious  and  so  bright, 
I'll  join  the  heavenly  music, 

And  praise  Him  da}r  and  night.
